Preface 

The  early  history  of  Pittsburgh  is  not  only  varied  and  interesting 
in  itself,  but  it  is  of  more  than  local  importance.  France  and  Great 
Britain  in  turn  held  sovereignty  here  and  in  the  great  conflict  of  the 
rival  nations  for  dominion  in  North  America,  the  Forks  of  the  Ohio,  on 
the  line  of  communication  between  Canada  and  the  Mississippi  valley, 
naturally  became  one  of  the  points  about  which  the  contest  centred. 
The  early  story  of  Pittsburgh  is,  therefore,  one  of  adventure  and  war- 
fare, of  Indian  massacre  and  siege  and  of  the  struggles  and  hardships  of 
pioneers  who  dared  to  cross  the  Alleghanies  and  make  for  themselves 
homes  on  the  frontier.  Great  names  are  associated  with  this  story: 
Washington,  whose  first  public  service  brought  him  to  the  site  of  Pitts- 
burgh, and  who  wrote  the  first  description  of  the  land  on  which  the  city 
is  built;  Forbes,  the  man  of  iron  will;  Bouquet  the  indomitable;  William 
Pitt,  the  great  statesman,  for  whom  the  city  was  named.  There  are 
picturesque  incidents,  as  that  of  Celoron  de  Bienville  taking  possession 
of  the  country  of  the  Allegheny  in  the  name  of  the  French  king;  and 
examples  of  rare  devotion  and  simple  heroism,  like  that  of  Christian 
Frederick  Post,  the  Moravian  missionary,  who,  at  the  risk  of  his  life, 
undertook  the  perilous  mission  to  the  Indians  in  1758  and  made  possible 
the  success  of  Forbes.  It  was  not  until  after  Wayne's  expedition  into 
the  Ohio  valley  and  the  treaty  of  Greenville  in  1795  that  permanent 
peace  was  established  on  the  frontier  and  the  way  opened  for  industrial 
expansion  and  development. 

In  addition  to  this  history  of  the  western  border,  Pittsburgh  also 
has  its  share  in  the  larger  history  of  the  commonwealth  founded  by 
William  Penn.  On  March  5,  1681,  he  writes,  "After  many  waitings, 
watchings,  solicitings,  and  disputes  in  council,  my  country  was  con- 
firmed to  me  under  the  great  seal  of  England.  God  will  bless  and  make 
it  the  seed  of  a  nation.  I  shall  have  a  tender  care  of  the  government, 
that  it  be  well  laid  at  first." 

The  story  of  this  past,  of  the  heroic  personalities,  the  patriots  and 
statesmen  who  have  shaped  the  history  of  city  and  state  should  belong 
to  the  boys  and  girls  of  to-day.  It  is  hoped  that  the  following  list  may  be 
of  service  to  any  teacher  who  wishes  to  supplement  the  regular  historical 
work  of  the  school  and  stimulate  an  interest  in  the  history  of  the  city 
and  the  state  by  suggesting  books  on  different  topics  for  study  or  home 
reading.  The  list  may  be  helpful  also  in  story-telling  and  boys'  club  work. 

The  relation  of  history  and  civics  is  very  close,  and  biography, 
while  narrating  the  career  of  the  individual,  is  in  one  sense  a  part  of 
history.  The  later  history  of  the  city  and  the  state  is  largely  one  of 
industrial  development.  The  historical  references  have,  therefore,  been 
supplemented  by  brief  lists  on  the  government  of  the  state,  the  lives  of 
representative  Pennsylvanians,  and  the  principal  industries.  The  divi- 
sion by  subject  makes  it  possible  to  use  any  part  of  the  list  independ- 
ently if  desired.

Hymn  of  Pittsburg 

My  father  was  a  mighty  Vulcan; 

I  am  Smith  of  the  land  and  sea; 

The  cunning  spirit  of  Tubal-Cain 

Came  with  my  marrow  to  me. 

I  think  great  thoughts,  strong-winged  with  steel, 

I  coin  vast  iron  acts, 

And  orb  the  impalpable  dreams  of  seers 

Into  comely,  lyric  facts. 

I  am  Monarch  of  all  the  Forges, 

I  have  solved  the  riddle  of  fire, 

The  Amen  of  Nature  to  cry  of  Man, 

Answers  at  my  desire. 

I  search  with  the  subtle  soul  of  flame 

The  heart  of  the  rocky  Earth, 

And  hot  from  my  anvils  the  prophecies 

Of  the  miracle-years  leap  forth. 

I  am  swart  with  the  soots  of  my  furnace, 

I  drip  with  the  sweats  of  toil; 

My  fingers  throttle  the  savage  wastes, 

I  tear  the  curse  from  the  soil. 

I  fling  the  bridges  across  the  gulfs 

That  hold  us  from  the  To-Be, 

And  build  the  roads  for  the  bannered  march 

Of  crowned  humanity. 

Richard  Realf.

Indian  Warfare  and  the  Local  History  of  Pittsburgh 

f Indicates  books  which  may  be  used  by  children  of  third  and  fourth  grades. 

*Indicates  books  for  the  older  boys  and  girls  and  for  teachers. 

Books  not  marked  are  suitable  for  boys  and  girls  of  intermediate  grades. 

History 

Not  all  of  the  following  list  of  books  on  the  history  of  Pennsyl- 
vania and  Pittsburgh  have  been  analyzed  for  the  special  topics.  It  has 
seemed  more  practicable  to  include  analytical  references  only  to  the 
books  most  useful  for  school  work  and  to  those  which  may  be  taken 
from  the  Library  for  home  and  school  use.  General  histories  of  the 
United  States  have  not  been  analyzed. 

A  few  stories  and  poems  have  been  included  among  the  historical 
references.  They  may  be  of  use  in  interesting  pupils  or  as  supple- 
mentary reading.

Conrad  Weiser  came  to  America  from  Germany  in  1709.  Circumstances  threw  him 
much  among  the  Indians,  with  whose  habits,  customs  and  language  he  grew  familiar. 
Coming  into  the  service  of  the  province  of  Pennsylvania  in  1738,  he  became  the  cham- 
pion of  the  English  among  the  Indians.  His  skill  in  guiding  and  controlling  the  Indian 
policy  of  colonial  Pennsylvania  postponed  the  threatened  rupture  with  the  Six  Nations 
until  the  English  colonies  were  prepared  to  cope  with  their  French  enemies.

were  in  it,  are  to  be  found  among  us."     William  Penn. 

"If  equanimity,  both  in  prosperity  and  adversity, — if  enlarged  views 
on  religion  and  government,  beyond  the  most  enlightened  minds  of 
his  day, — if  success  in  carrying  his  principles  into  practice  without  any 
compromise;  do  not  entitle  him  to  the  credit  of  a  vigorous  intellect, 
as  well  as  a  noble  and  generous  heart,  then  we  may  search  in  vain  for 
these  high  qualities  among  the  records  of  the  past."  Janney's  Life  of

Celoron  de  Bienville  and  the  Rival  Claims 

The  story  of  the  rival  claims  of  the  French  and  English  in  the  Ohio 
valley  is  a  part  of  the  general  history  of  the  contest  of  the  two  nations 
for  supremacy  in  North  America.  France  claimed,  by  right  of  dis- 
covery and  exploration,  all  America,  from  the  Alleghanies  to  the  Rocky 
mountains.  The  English,  by  virtue  of  the  "sea-to-sea"  provisions  of 
the  colonial  charters,  also  claimed  the  territory  west  of  the  Alleghanies. 

"The  treaty  (Aix-la-Chapelle,  1748)  had  done  nothing  to  settle  the 
vexed  question  of  boundaries  between  France  and  her  rival.  It  had  but 
staved  off  the  inevitable  conflict.  Meanwhile,  the  English  traders 
were  crossing  the  mountains  from  Pennsylvania  and  Virginia,  poaching 
on  the  domain  which  France  claimed  as  hers,  ruining  the  French  fur- 
trade,  seducing  the  Indian  allies  of  Canada,  and  stirring  them  up  against 
her.  Worse  still,  English  land  speculators  were  beginning  to  follow. 
Something  must  be  done,  and  that  promptly,  to  drive  back  the  intruders, 
and  vindicate  French  rights  in  the  valley  of  the  Ohio.  To  this  end  the 
governor  (La  Galissoniere)  sent  Celoron  de  Bienville  thither  in  the 
summer  of  1749.  He  was  a  chevalier  de  St.  Louis  and  a  captain  in  the 
colony  troops.  Under  him  went  fourteen  officers  and  cadets,  twenty 
soldiers,  a  hundred  and  eighty  Canadians,  and  a  band  of  Indians,  all  in 
twenty-three  birch-bark  canoes... On  reaching  the  Alleghany,  Celoron 
de  Bienville  entered  upon  the  work  assigned  him,  and  began  by  taking 
possession  of  the  country.  The  men  were  drawn  up  in  order;  Louis  XV. 
was  proclaimed  lord  of  all  that  region,  the  arms  of  France,  stamped 
on  a  sheet  of  tin,  were  nailed  to  a  tree,  a  plate  of  lead  was  buried  at  its 
foot,  and  the  notary  of  the  expedition  drew  up  a  formal  act  of  the  whole 
proceeding."    Parkman's  Montcalm  and  Wolfe,  v.l,  p. 40-46. 

The  party  then  proceeded  on  its  way  and  journeyed  down  the  Alle- 
gheny and  Ohio  as  far  as  the  Great  Miami,  holding  council  with  the 
Indians  and  depositing  leaden  plates  at  different  places. 

Meanwhile,  an  association  had  been  formed  in  Virginia  for  the 
settlement  of  the  Ohio  country.  This  association  was  known  as  the 
Ohio  Company  and  included  among  its  members  some  of  the  chief  men 


THE  RIVAL  CLAIMS  15 

of  the  colony.  The  charter  granted  the  company  half  a  million  acres  of 
land  along  the  Ohio  river  and  south  of  it,  and  the  year  after  the  ex- 
pedition of  Celoron,  Christopher  Gist,  the  pioneer  and  trader,  was  sent 
out  to  explore  the  country  and  select  land,  as  well  as  to  bear  friendly 
messages  to  the  Indians.  Gist  and  his  companions  also  journeyed 
through  the  almost  unknown  country  as  far  as  Pickawillany,  the  Indian 
town  on  the  upper  waters  of  the  Great  Miami,  where  a  series  of  coun- 
cils with  the  Indians  was  held.  After  an  absence  of  seven  months  Gi>t 
returned  to  Roanoke  with  the  report  of  his  journey. 

Both  the  French  and  the  English  now  recognized  the  great  strategic 
importance  of  the  junction  of  the  Allegheny  and  Monongahela  rivers. 
In  1752  Gist  met  the  Indians  in  council  at  Logstown  and  made  a  treaty 
which  granted  the  Ohio  Company  permission  to  make  settlements 
south  of  the  Ohio  and  to  build  a  fort  at  the  forks  of  the  river;  but  the 
undertaking  was  delayed,  and  in  1753  the  marquis  Duquesne,  governor 
of  New  France,  sent  an  expedition  to  occupy  the  disputed  territory. 
The  forts  of  Presqu'  Isle  and  Le  Boeuf  were  built  and  the  French  also 
seized  the  English  trading-post  at  Venango  and  established  a  small 
garrison  there.

When  Gov.  Dinwiddie  of  Virginia  learned  through  traders  and 
Indians  of  the  building  of  the  French  forts,  he  resolved  to  send  a  mes- 
senger to  ascertain  the  numbers  and  force  of  the  French  and  to  warn 
them  against  encroaching  on  the  territory  claimed  by  the  English.  The 
messenger    selected    for    this    difficult    task    was    George    Washington, 


WASHINGTON'S  FIRST  EXPEDITION  17 

who,  then  but  21  years  of  age,  had  held  for  two  years  the  position,  of 
adjutant-general  in  the  Virginia  militia.  Washington  set  out  at  once 
for  the  trading-post  of  the  Ohio  Company  at  Will's  Creek  and  from 
there,  in  the  middle  of  November  1753,  having  procured  the  services  of 
Christopher  Gist  as  guide,  he  "left  the  inhabitants"  and  struck  into  the 
wilderness.  At  Logstown  Washington  met  the  Half  King,  a  friendly 
chief,  from  whom  he  learned  the  whereabouts  of  the  French,  and  after 
many  delays  the  young  envoy  reached  Fort  Le  Bceuf  and  delivered  the 
letter  sent  by  Dinwiddie  to  Legardeur  de  St.  Pierre,  commandant  of 
the  French  forces.  Three  days  were  spent  by  St.  Pierre  in  preparing 
his  answer  to  the  Virginian  governor  and  it  was  not  until  December  16 
that  Washington  was  able  to  start  on  his  homeward  journey.  After 
many  perils,  including  a  narrow  escape  from  drowning  in  the  Allegheny 
river,  Washington  arrived  at  Williamsburg  in  the  middle  of  January 
and  made  his  report  to  Dinwiddie. 

This  expedition  is  of  especial  local  interest  from  the  fact  that 
Washington  remained  several  days  in  the  vicinity  of  what  is  now  Pitts- 
burgh, writing  a  description  of  the  "Land  in  th'e  Forks"  and  recom- 
mending the  site  as  especially  adapted  for  military  purposes.  It  is  also 
of  interest  in  connection  with  this  journey  to  note  that  in  November 
1908  the  Allegheny  County  Committee  of  the  Pennsylvania  Society  of 
the  Colonial  Dames  placed  on  the  Springfield  School,  Smallman  and 
Thirty-first  Streets,  a  bronze  tablet  commemorating  Washington's 
crossing  of  the  Allegheny  river  near  that  point.

20  WASHINGTON'S  SECOND  EXPEDITION 

Washington's  Second  Expedition  and  the  Battle  of  Fort  Necessity,  1754 

Assured  by  Washington's  narrative  that  the  French  meant  to  re- 
main on  the  Ohio,  Gov.  Dinwiddie  took  steps  toward  holding  the  coun- 
try for  the  English.  A  company  of  Capt.  Trent's  men  marched  to  the 
forks  and  in  April  1754  a  fort  was  begun,  but  it  was  surrendered  un- 
finished to  a  superior  force  under  Contrecceur.  Washington  reached 
Will's  Creek,  now  Cumberland,  with  three  small  companies,  two  days 
after  the  arrival  of  Ensign  Ward  with  news  of  the  surrender.  He 
thereupon  set  out  and  late  in  May  reached  Great  Meadows,  where  he 
began  the  erection  of  a  fortification  which  he  later  called  Fort  Neces- 
sity. The  capitulation  of  Fort  Necessity  took  place  on  July  3  and  on 
the  following  day  Washington  and  his  men  began  their  march  back  to 
Will's  Creek.

Braddock's  Campaign,  1755 

The  building  of  a  log  fort  to  command  the  Ohio  had  now  brought  on 
actual  war  between  the  rival  nations.  The  English  government  prompt- 
ly ordered  two  regiments  of  regular  troops  to  Virginia  and  Maj.-gen. 
Edward  Braddock  was  made  commander  of  all  His  Majesty's  forces  in 
America.  Braddock  arrived  in  Virginia  in  February  1755  and  established 
his  headquarters  at  Alexandria,  whence  troops  and  military  stores  were 
to  be  sent  forward.  It  was  now  confidently  expected  that  the  French 
would  at  once  be  driven  out  of  the  Ohio  valley,  but,  on  account  of  the 
great  difficulties  encountered  in  obtaining  provisions  and  means  of 
transportation,  it  was  well  into  June  before  the  expedition  was  fairly 
on  its  way  to  Fort  Duquesne.  On  July  9,  when  within  a  few  miles  of 
the  fort,  the  English  were  surprised  by  the  French  and  Indians  and  the 
expedition,  from  which  so  much  had  been  expected,  ended  in  disastrous 
defeat.

Plan  of  the  boroughs  of  Braddock  and  North  Braddock,  showing 
the  location  of  the  field  of  battle,  July  9th,  1755;  located  by  Sydney 
Dillon,  delineated  by  T.  F.  Graham  and  L.  H.  Park.     no. 1-2.     1909. 

Size,   14  x  17%   inches,  folded  in   12°  cover;  scale,  600  feet  to   1   inch. 

The  location  of  battle-field  and  road  shown  here  is  based  on  a  study  of  the  ground 
in  connection  with  the  two  maps  made  by  Pat.  Mackellar,  engineer  with  Braddock's 
army,  and  the  plan  from  Winsor's  "Narrative  and  critical  history,"  v. 5,  p. 499,  and  the 
Carnegie,  McCandless  Co.'s  property  map  of  1873  showing  contours  of  the  bottom  land 
in  the  vicinity  of  the  road. 

Mackellar's  map  no.i  has  title  "A  sketch  of  the  field  of  battle  of  July  9th  upon  the 
Monongahela  seven  miles  from  Fort  Duquesne,  shewing  the  disposition  of  troops  when 
the  action  began;"  no. 2  has  title  "A  sketch  of  the  field  of  battle  shewing  the  disposition 
of  the  troops  about  2  o'clock  when  the  whole  of  the  main  body  had  joined  the  advanced

Destruction  of  Kittanning,  1756 

Braddock's  defeat  left  the  frontiers  without  protection  and  the  de- 
fenceless border  settlers  fell  a  prey  to  the  merciless  raids  of  the  Indians. 
War  parties  scoured  the  country,  and  the  highway,  opened  by  Brad- 
dock with  such  difficulty  to  reach  the  French  and  Indians,  now  proved 
equally   convenient   for   the   inroads    of   the   relentless   red   man.      One

serious  attempt  was  made  against  the  enemy  in  the  summer  of  1756. 
This  was  the  attack  by  Col.  John  Armstrong  on  the  Indian  town  of 
Kittanning  on  the  Allegheny  river,  the  headquarters  of  the  noted  chief,

Fall  of  Fort  Duquesne  and  the  Building  of  Fort  Pitt,  1758-59 

The  expedition  against  Fort  Duquesne  in  1758  was  one  of  the  three 
campaigns  of  that  year  by  which  William  Pitt,  then  in  full  control  of 
foreign  and  military  affairs  in  England,  hoped  to  overpower  the  French 
forces  in  America.  Gen.  John  Forbes,  who  was  placed  in  command  of 
the  campaign  against  Fort  Duquesne,  was  a  Scotch  soldier.  He  was 
sent  to  America  in  1757  as  adjutant-general,  and  in  December  of  the 
same  year  was  appointed  brigadier-general.  Preparations  for  the  cam- 
paign against  the  French  on  the  Ohio  were  soon  begun.  Forbes 
reached  Philadelphia  in  April,  where  he  was  compelled  to  wait  for 
troops  and  supplies  until  the  last  of  June.  He  then  set  out  and  by  slow 
and  difficult  stages  marched  toward  Fort  Duquesne.  Although  he  had 
at  first  intended  to  lead  his  army  by  Braddock's  road,  he  changed  his 
plan  and  decided  upon  a  more  direct  route,  opening,  from  Bedford,  a 


28  FALL  OF  FORT  DUQUESNE 

new  road  over  the  mountains.  This  decision  was  not  carried  out  with- 
out much  opposition  from  the  Virginians,  headed  by  Col.  Washington, 
and  the  controversy  that  arose  (fully  discussed  in  Hulbert's  "Historic 
highways  of  America,"  v.5)  is  one  of  the  most  interesting  incidents  of 
the  campaign. 

Gen.  Forbes  had,  in  the  meantime,  been  stricken  with  a  sickness 
from  which  he  never  recovered.  He  was  carried  over  the  mountains 
in  a  litter,  suffering  greatly  from  pain  and  weakness,  yet  he  directed  in 
person  almost  every  detail  of  the  campaign,  facing  with  resolute 
courage  the  difficulties  that  presented  themselves  at  every  turn.  The 
new  road  was  rendered  almost  impassable  by  unusually  heavy  rains, 
and  had  continually  to  be  repaired;  supplies  were  hard  to  procure  in 
sufficient  quantities;  the  horses  were  overworked  and  starving.  Winter 
was  approaching,  and  early  in  November  upon  reaching  Loyalhanna, 
Forbes  decided  to  go  into  winter  quarters  there  and  to  resume  opera- 
tions in  the  spring.  He  learned,  however,  from  prisoners  that  were 
brought  in  that  the  French  were  almost  without  defense  and  could  not 
withstand  an  attack.  He  then  decided  to  advance  and  upon  approach- 
ing the  fort  found  that  the  French,  deserted  by  their  Indian  allies 
through  the  efforts  of  Frederick  Post,  and  cut  off  from  their  base 
of  supplies  by  the  surrender  of  Fort  Frontenac,  had  blown  up  the  fort 
and  fled.  Forbes  immediately  took  possession  of  the  place  and  built  a 
rough  stockade  in  which  he  left  a  small  portion  of  his  troops.  Early  in 
December  he  set  out  on  his  return.  Unable  to  ride,  he  was  carried  in 
his  litter  the  entire  distance  to  Philadelphia,  where  he  died  on  the 
tenth  of  March  and  was  buried  with  military  honors  in  Christ  Church. 

The  following  extract  from  Forbes's  letter  to  Pitt*  contains  the 
short  sentence  which  records  the  naming  of  Pittsburgh,  and  shows  in 
what  spirit  and  with  what  hopes  the  name  was  given  to  the  site  of  the 
ruined  fort. 

Pittsbourgh.  27th  Novemr.  1758. 
Sir, 
I  do  myself  the  Honour  of  acquainting  you  that  it  has  pleased  God 
to  crown  His  Majesty's  Arms  with  Success  over  all  His  Enemies  upon 
the  Ohio,  by  my  having  obliged  the  Enemy  to  burn  and  abandon  Fort 
Du  Quesne,  which  they  effectuated  on  the  25th:,  and  of  which  I  took 
possession  next  day,  the  Enemy  having  made  their  Escape  down  the 
River  towards  the  Mississippi  in  their  Boats,  being  abandoned  by  their 
Indians,  whom  I  had  previously  engaged  to  leave  them,  and  who  now 
seem  all  willing  and  ready  to  implore  His  Majesty's  most  Gracious  Pro- 
tection. So  give  me  leave  to  congratulate  you  upon  this  great  Event, 
of  having  totally  expelled  the  French  from  this  prodigious  tract  of 
Country,  and  of  having  reconciled  the  various  tribes  of  Indians  inhabit- 
ing it  to  His  Majesty's  Government.

FALL  OF  FORT  DUQUESNE  29 

********** 

This  far  I  had  wrote  at  Fort  Du  Quesne  upon  the  27th:  Novemr. 
since  which  time  I  have  never,  either  been  able  to  write,  or  capable  to 
dictate  a  letter. 

********** 

I  have  used  the  freedom  of  giving  your  name  to  Fort  Du  Quesne, 
as  I  hope  it  was  in  some  measure  the  being  actuated  by  your  spirits 
that  now  makes  us  Masters  of  the  place.  Nor  could  I  help  using  the 
same  freedom  in  the  naming  of  two  other  Forts  that  I  built  (Plans  of 
which  I  send  you)  the  one  Fort  Ligonier  &  the  other  Bedford.  I  hope 
the  name  Fathers  will  take  them  under  their  Protection,  In  which  case 
these  dreary  deserts  will  soon  be  the  richest  and  most  fertile  of  any 
possest  by  the  British  in  N°.  America.  I  have  the  honour  to  be  with 
great  regard  and  Esteem  Sir, 

Your  most  obed.1.  &  most  humle.  serv'.

After  the  death  of  Gen.  Forbes,  Gen.  Stanwix  was  placed  in  com-

Siege  of  Fort  Pitt  and  the  Battle  of  Bushy  Run,  1763 

"Since  the  capture  of  Fort  Du  Quesne,  settlers  from  Pennsylvania, 
Maryland,  and  Virginia  had  poured  over  the  mountains,  very  little 
scrupulous  in  their  conduct  toward  the  Indians,  who  began  to  see  and 
to  feel  the  danger  of  being  soon  driven  to  new  migrations.  Perhaps, 
too,  their  prejudices  were  inflamed — so  at  least  the  colonists  thought — 
by  the  arts  of  French  fur  traders,  who  dreaded  the  competition  of  Eng- 
lish rivals.  The  Delawares  and  the  Shawanese,  who  had  lately  migrated 
from  Pennsylvania,  and  who  now  occupied  the  banks  of  the  Muskingum, 
Scioto,  and  Miami,  seem  to  have  taken  the  lead  in  a  widespread  con- 
federacy, of  which  Pontiac,  an  Ottawa  chief,  is  represented  to  have 
been  the  moving  spirit.  It  included  not  only  the  tribes  lately  the  allies 
of  the  French,  but  the  Senecas  also,  the  most  western  clan  of  the  Six 
Nations.  The  other  five  clans,  though  not  without  much  difficulty, 
were  kept  quiet  by  Sir  William  Johnson. 

A  simultaneous  attack  was  unexpectedly  made  along  the  whole 
frontier  of  Pennsylvania  and  Virginia.  The  English  traders  scattered 
through  the  region  beyond  the  mountains  were  plundered  and  slain. 
The  posts  between  the  Ohio  and  Lake  Erie  were  surprised  and  taken— 
indeed,  all  the  posts  in  the  western  country,  except  Niagara,  Detroit, 
Fort  Pitt,  and  Ligonier.  The  three  latter  were  closely  blockaded." 
Hildreth's  History  of  the  United  States,  v.2,  p. 504. 

"When  the  news  of  this  Indian  uprising  reached  Gen.  Amherst,  he 
ordered  Col.  Bouquet  to  march  with  a  detachment  of  five  hundred  men 


32  FORT  PITT,  BUSHY  RUN 

to  the  relief  of  the  besieged  forts.  This  force  was  composed  of  com- 
panies from  the  Forty-second  Highlanders  and  Seventy-seventh  Regu- 
lars, to  which  were  added  six  companies  of  Rangers.  Bouquet  estab- 
lished his  camp  in  Carlisle  at  the  end  of  June.  .  . 

After  a  delay  of  eighteen  days,  having  secured  enough  wagons, 
horses  and  oxen,  Bouquet  began  his  perilous  march,  with  a  force  much 
smaller  than  Braddock's,  to  encounter  a  foe  far  more  formidable.  But 
Bouquet,  the  man  of  iron  will  and  iron  hand,  had  served  seven  years  in 
America,  and  understood  the  work. 

On  July  25th  he  reached  Fort  Bedford,  when  he  was  fortunate  in 
securing  thirty  backwoodsmen  to  go  with  him.  This  little  army  toiled 
on  through  the  blazing  heat  of  July  over  the  Alleghanies,  and  reached 
Fort  Ligonier  August  2d,  the  Indians,  who  had  besieged  the  fort  for 
two  months,  disappearing  at  the  approach  of  the  troops.  Here  Bouquet 
left  his  oxen  and  wagons  and  resumed  his  march  on  the  4th.  On  the 
5th,  about  noon,  he  encountered  the  enemy  at  Bushy  Run.  The  battle 
raged  for  two  days,  and  ended  in  a  total  rout  of  the  savages.  The  loss 
of  the  British  was  one  hundred  and  fifteen  and  eight  officers.  The 
distance  to  Fort  Pitt  was  twenty-five  miles,  which  place  was  reached 
on  the  10th.  The  enemy  had  abandoned  the  siege  and  marched  to  unite 
their  forces  with  those  which  attacked  Col.  Bouquet  at  Bushy  Run. 
The  savages  continued  their  hasty  retreat,  but  Col.  Bouquet's  force  was 
not  sufficient  to  enable  him  to  pursue  the  enemy  beyond  the  Ohio,  and 
he  was  obliged  to  content  himself  with  supplying  Fort  Pitt  and  other 
forts  with  provisions,  ammunition  and  stores. 

It  was  at  this  time  that  Col.  Bouquet  built  the  little  Redoubt  which 
is  now  not  only  all  that  remains  of  Fort  Pitt,  but  the  only  existing 
monument  of  British  occupancy  in  this  region."  Daughters  of  the

Bouquet's  Expedition  of  1764 

"In  the  spring  of  1764  scattered  war  parties  were  again  ravaging 
the  borders.  Colonel  Bouquet  was  recruiting  in  Pennsylvania,  and 
preparing  an  outfit  for  his  march  into  the  valley  of  the  Ohio..  . 

[lie]  met  with  every  obstacle  in  raising  troops  and  collecting  sup- 
plies for  his  Ohio  expedition,  from  the  stubborn  Quakers  in  the  As- 
sembly of  Pennsylvania.  It  was  not  until  September  17th  that  his  con- 
voy arrived  at  Fort  Pitt.  Early  in  October  he  marched  with  fifteen 
hundred  men  and  a  long  train  of  pack-horses  into  the  valley  of  the 
Muskingum.  Wherever  he  appeared  with  his  strong  force  the  Indian 
tribes  were  ready,  after  much  talk,  to  make  treaties  of  peace  and  deliver 
up  their  white  captives,  two  hundred  of  whom,  and  some  with  re- 
luctance, were  taken  back  to  the  settlements.  Colonel  Bouquet  marched 
to  the  forks  of  the  Muskingum,  meeting  with  no  opposition,  and  having 
accomplished  his  purposes,  retraced  his  march,  and  arrived  at  Fort  Pitt 
on  the  28th  of  November.  The  success  of  the  expedition  and  the  return 
of  the  captives  to  their  homes  were  the  occasion  of  joy  through  the 
whole  country.  The  assemblies  of  Pennsylvania  and  Virginia  passed 
votes  of  thanks  to  Colonel  Bouquet,  and  the  king  conferred  on  him  the 
rank  of  brigadier-general.  Early  in  the  summer  of  1765  he  was  put  in 
command  of  the  Southern  district,  and  died  of  fever  at  Pensacola, 
September  2,  ten  days  after  his  arrival."  W .  F.  Poole,  in  Winsor's  Nar-

Lord  Dunmore's  War,  1774 

The  possession  of  the  "Gateway  of  the  West"  had  for  years  been  a 
subject  of  dispute  between  Pennsylvania  and  Virginia  and  the  hostile 
feeling  was  nourished  by  the  conflicting  interests  of  the  people  of  these 
two  colonies  in  respect  to  the  western  country  and  its  wild  inhabitants. 
These  difficulties  led  in  1774  to  the  border  war,  known  as  "Lord  Dun- 
more's war."  It  was  conducted  under  the  general  direction  of  the  earl 
of  Dunmore,  last  royal  governor  of  Virginia.  Dunmore  found  a  ready 
tool  in  Dr  John  Connolly,  a  violent  and  unscrupulous  man,  who,  about 


36  LORD  DUNMORE'S  WAR 

the  end  of  1773,  came  up  from  Virginia,  seized  the  ruins  of  Fort  Pitt 
and  erected  a  small  stockade  which  he  named  Fort  Dunmore.  From 
here  he  issued  proclamations  in  the  name  of  the  governor  of  Virginia, 
calling  upon  the  people  to  obey  his  authority.  His  tyranny  was  such 
that  many  families  returned  to  the  eastern  side  of  the  mountains  and 
his  high-handed  proceedings  led  to  further  strife  between  Pennsyl- 
vania and  Virginia  over  the  vexed  question  of  the  boundaries.  Mean- 
while, war  broke  out  between  the  settlers  and  the  Indians,  instigated,  it 
has  been  claimed,  by  Dunmore  and  Connolly.  One  of  the  causes  of  the 
outbreak  of  hostilities  at  this  time  was  the  slaying  of  the  whole  family 
of  the  friendly  chief  Logan.  The  war  thus  ushered  in  by  the  Yellow 
creek  massacre  was  an  event  of  cardinal  importance  in  the  history  of 
the  western  frontier.  It  was  ended  by  the  decisive  battle  at  Point 
Pleasant,  on  the  Great  Kanawha  (October  10,  1774),  in  which  the  In- 
dians under  the  famous  Shawnee  chief  Cornstalk,  were  totally  defeated 
by  the  backwoodsmen  under  Andrew  Lewis.  This  defeat  so  cowed  the 
Indians  that  they  were  fain  to  purchase  peace  by  surrendering  all  their 
claims  to  the  hunting-grounds  south  of  the  Ohio.  It  kept  the  north- 
western tribes  comparatively  quiet  during  the  first  two  years  of  the 
Revolutionary  war  and  thus  opened  the  way  for  the  settlers  to  rush 
into  Kentucky.  The  boundary  difficulties  were  not  finally  adjusted 
until  1780.    Adapted  from  Fiske  and  Chapman.

38  WAR  OF  THE  REVOLUTION 

The  War  of  the  Revolution 

At  the  beginning  of  the  Revolutionary  war  Pennsylvania  ranked 
as  one  of  the  more  conservative  colonies.  This  was  owing  partly  to 
the  prosperity  of  the  colony  under  the  liberal  form  of  government 
established  by  Penn,  partly  to  the  fact  that  the  Quakers  naturally  were 
opposed  to  a  course  of  action  that  might  end  in  war.  Massachusetts 
and  Virginia  had  taken  the  lead  in  the  opposition  to  England;  but  it 
was  necessary  to  secure  the  cooperation  and  support  of  the  other  colo- 
nies, and  to  this  end  the  Continental  Congress  was  assembled.  Phila- 
delphia on  account  of  its  central  location  was  selected  as  the  place  of 
meeting  and  thus  became  the  scene  of  some  of  the  most  important 
events  of  the  Revolutionary  period  and  the  birthplace  of  the  new  nation. 

The  military  incidents  of  the  war  in  Pennsylvania  were  chiefly 
those  connected  with  the  occupation  of  Philadelphia  by  the  British 
under  Lord  Howe,  and  Washington's  campaign  in  the  vicinity  of  that 
city.  While  the  American  patriots  were  waging  war  with  the  English 
in  the  East,  the  western  frontier  was  exposed  to  constant  attacks  from 
the  Indians,  with  whom  the  English  had  made  an  alliance,  and  those 
who  fought  to  repel  these  invaders  were  also  aiding  in  the  struggle 
for  freedom.  The  Eighth  Pennsylvania  regiment  was  organized  to  de- 
fend the  border  and  in  1777  was  ordered  to  Fort  Pitt,  from  which  point 
expeditions  were  sent  out  against  the  Indians.

After  the  close  of  the  Revolutionary  war  immigration  again  began 
to  flow  toward  the  West,  but  the  Indians  north  of  the  Ohio  were  not 
disposed  to  submit  to  the  presence  of  white  settlers  and  began  hostili- 
ties along  the  border.  The  unsettled  conditions  and  the  continued  out- 
rages finally  determined  the  government  to  call  out  the  militia  of  the 
frontier  states.  The  first  expedition  under  Gen.  Harmar  suffered  defeat 
in  a  fight  on  the  Maumee  in  October  1790;  and  a  second  and  larger 
force,  led  by  Gen.  St.  Clair,  was  surprised  by  the  Indians  and  nearly 
destroyed  in  November   1791.

Expedition  of  General  Wayne 

"Realizing  from  his  own  bitter  experiences  with  militia  at  the  out- 
break of  the  French  and  Indian  war,  that  the  failures  of  Harmar  and 
St.  Clair  were  due  quite  as  much  to  the  insubordinate  character  of  the 
troops  as  to  the  lack  of  capacity  on  the  part  of  their  commanders, 
Washington  now  selected  for  general  of  the  army  a  soldier  of  pro- 
verbial bravery,  Mad  Anthony  Wayne,  one  of  those  rare  men  whom 
prudence  teaches  when  to  be  rash  successfully. .  .Wayne's  task  was  to 
retrieve  the  failure  of  St.  Clair,  his  former  rival,  and  to  avenge  the 
death  of  his  campmate  and  friend,  General  Richard  Butler,  who  after 
winning  glory  in  the  Revolution  died  the  death  of  a  Bayard  on  St. 
Clair's  bloody  field.  The  first  necessity  was  to  get  into  shape  the  en- 
larged army  that  Congress  had  authorized  for  the  campaign,  and  had 
named  the  Legion  of  the  United  States. 

Arriving  at  Pittsburg  in  June,  Wayne  began  the  arduous  task  of 
recruiting  and  drilling  men  who  were  so  terrified  at  the  name  of  Indian 
that  while  yet  in  Pennsylvania  on  one  occasion  the  mere  report  of 
savages  in  the  neighborhood  caused  one-third  of  the  sentinels  to  desert 
their  posts...  In  May,  1793,  Wayne  with  his  legion  dropped  down  the 
Ohio  from  his  camp  near  Fort  Mcintosh  to  Fort  Washington,  and 
there  kept  up  the  daily  drills  while  he  grimly  awaited  the  results  of  the 
council  to  be  held  with  the  Indians  at  the  mouth  of  the  Detroit." 
Moore's  Northzvcst  under  three  flags,  p-359S6i. 

The  council  having  accomplished  nothing,  Wayne  advanced  into 
the  Indian  country  and  encamped  on  a  branch  of  the  Miami,  at  a  place  to 
which  he  gave  the  name  Greenville.  There  he  passed  the  winter,  send- 
ing forward  a  detachment  to  build  upon  the  site  of  St.  Clair's  defeat  a 
fort  which  was  named  Fort  Recovery.  The  following  summer  Fort 
Defiance  was  built  and  on  August  20,  1794,  Wayne  met  and  defeated 
the  Indians  in  the  decisive  battle  of  Fallen  Timbers,  so  called  because 
of  the  fallen  timber  with  which  the  ground  was  covered. 

After  the  battle  Gen.  Wayne  returned  to  Greenville,  where  negotia- 
tions were  carried  on  with  the  Indian  chiefs,  and  on  August  3,  1795. 
he  was  able  to  announce  that  "a  permanent  peace"  had  been  made  with 
the  ten  great  nations  dwelling  within  the  Northwest.

The  Whiskey  Insurrection,  1794 

"Whisky  insurrection  [is]  the  term  popularly  applied  to  the  or- 
ganized opposition  -among  the  farmers  and  distillers  of  the  four  west- 
ern counties  of  Pennsylvania  in  1794  to  the  enforcement  of  the  Federal 
law  of  March,  1791,  imposing  an  excise  tax  on  whisky.  The  law  was 
exceedingly  unpopular  in  this  part  of  the  country,  where  whisky  was 
the  chief  article  of  manufacture,  and  from  which,  by  reason  of  the 
remoteness  of  the  country,  grain  could  not  well  be  shipped  to  the 
East  except  in  the  more  portable  form  of  whisky.  The  frontier  in- 
habitants regarded  the  law  as  an  unjust  discrimination  against  them, 
and  vigorously  opposed  its  enforcement.  The  Government  at  once 
instituted  prosecutions  against  some  of  the  chief  offenders,  but  when 
the  marshal  undertook  to  serve  the  necessary  processes  he  was  com- 
pelled by  a  body  of  armed  men.  to  desist.  In  pursuance  of  an  act 
passed  by  Congress  in  May,  1792,  President  Washington  issued  a 
proclamation  commanding  the  insurgents  to  disperse,  and  warning 
others  against  abetting  them.  On  August  14,  1794,  a  convention  of 
more  than  200  delegates,  representing  the  western  counties  of  Pennsyl- 
vania and  one  county  in  Virginia,  assembled  at  Parkinson's  Ferry  on 
the  Monongahela,  with  Albert  Gallatin  as  secretary  of  the  meeting. 
Three  commissioners  who  had  been  appointed  by  the  President,  to- 
gether with  commissioners  appointed  by  the  Governor  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, appeared  at  the  convention,  and  offered  a  general  amnesty, 
conditioned  upon  submission  to  the  laws,  but  no  promises  or  pledges 
could  be  secured  from  the  convention.  The  commissioners  thereupon 
returned  to  Philadelphia,  and  on  the  basis  of  their  report  the  President 
issued  a  second  proclamation  on  September  25th,  commanding  sub- 
mission and  announcing  the  march  to  the  scene  of  disturbances  of  a 
force  of  militia,  a  requisition  for  15,000  militiamen  having  already 
been  made  upon  the  Governors  of  Pennsylvania,  New  Jersey,  Virginia, 
and  Maryland.  Upon  the  approach  of  the  troops  the  ardor  of  the 
insurgents  was  somewhat  dampened,  and  David  Bradford,  the  prime 
mover  in  the  insurrection,  fled  to  New  Orleans.  Meantime  another 
convention  assembled  at  Parkinson's  Ferry  and  passed  resolutions 
pledging  submission  and  obedience  to  the  laws.  Thereupon  Governor 
Henry  Lee  of  Virginia,  who  was  acting  as  commander  of  the  militia, 
issued  a  proclamation  of  amnesty,  requiring  an  oath  of  allegiance  to 
the  United  States,  and  ordered  the  arrest  of  those  offenders  who  re- 
fused to  make  a  declaration  of  submission.  A  number  of  suspected 
persons  were  seized.  Some  were  dismissed  for  want  of  evidence,  and 
others  were  bound  over  to  appear  for  trial.  Two  were  convicted  of 
treason,    but    were   pardoned    by    the    President.      As    a    precautionary

measure,  2500  troops  under  the  command  of  General  Morgan  were 
retained  in  the  disaffected  community  throughout  the  winter  to  serve 
as  a  police  force.  The  real  significance  of  the  disturbance,  which 
never  rose  to  the  dignity  of  an  insurrection,  was  that  it  was  the  first 
instance  in  which  the  strength  of  the  new  Federal  Government  to 
maintain  domestic  tranquillity  and  enforce  laws  was  put  to  the  test. 
The  promptness  with  which  the  resistance  was  put  down  won  respect 
for  the  Government  and  established  valuable  precedents  with  regard 
to  its  power  and  duty  on  similar  occasions  in  the  future."  New  inter-

Biography 

The  biography  list  is  intended  to  be  suggestive  merely  and  many 
prominent  names  have  been  omitted.  An  effort  has  been  made  to 
select  a  few  representative  Pennsylvanians,  the  incidents  of  whose  lives 
are  of  interest  to  boys  and  girls.  Other  names  are  included  because 
of  their  connection  with  the  early  history  of  the  state,  especially  with 
that  of  the  western  border.  The  lives  of  the  Indian  chiefs,  hardy 
pioneers  and  brave  soldiers  furnish  interesting  supplementary  reading 
for  the  historical  events  in  which  they  shared.

Guyasuta 

Guyasuta,  a  Seneca  chief,  was  one  of  the  Indians  who  accompanied 
Washington  from  Logstown  to  Fort  Le  Bceuf  in  1753.  He  was  with 
the  Indians  who  defeated  Grant  in  1758.  At  the  time  of  Pontiac's  war 
he  was  the  leader  of  the  Indians  in  southwestern  Pennsylvania  and  was 
with  the  party  which  attacked  Bouquet  at  Bushy  run.  He  lived  until 
after  the  close  of  the  Revolutionary  war  and  at  his  death  was  buried 
on  the  tract  of  land  near  the  Allegheny  river  which  still  bears  his  name. 
Frequent  mention  is  made  of  Guyasuta  in  the  accounts  of  the  early 
expeditions  to  the  forks  of  the  Ohio  and  the  Indian  warfare  about 
Fort  Pitt.

Captain  Jack 

Captain  Jack  was  a  notable  hunter  and  "Indian-killer"  of  the  time 
of  the  French  and  Indian  war.  He  was  known  all  along  the  Pennsyl- 
vania border  as  the  Black  Hunter,  the  Black  Rifle  and  the  Wild  Hunter 
of  the  Juniata.  Little  is  known  about  his  early  history,  but  it  is  the 
current  tradition  "that  having  been  a  settler  on  the  farthest  frontier, 
in  the  Valley  of  the  Juniata,  he  returned  one  evening  to  his  cabin  and 
found  it  burned  to  the  ground  by  Indians,  and  the  bodies  of  his  wife 
and  children  lying  among  the  ruins.  He  vowed  undying  vengeance, 
raised  a  band  of  kindred  spirits,  dressed  and  painted  like  Indians,  and 
became  the  scourge  of  the  red  man  and  the  champion  of  the  white."

Logan  the  Mingo 

Logan  was  the  son  of  Shikellimy,  chief  of  the  Cayugas.  His  In- 
dian name  was  Tah-gah-jute,  but  he  was  given  the  English  name  of 
Logan  in  honor  of  James  Logan,  William  Penn's  secretary.  While  still 
a  young  man,  Logan  was  chosen  as  chief  of  a  Mingo  tribe.  He  lived 
many  years  near  Reedsville,  Pa.  and  was  known  as  the  friend  of  the 
white  man.  About  1770  he  removed  to  the  banks  of  the  Ohio  and  four 
years  later  his  family  were  massacred  by  settlers  in  revenge  for  many 
outrages  by  the  Indians.  This  massacre  was  one  of  the  causes  which 
led  to  Lord  Dunmore's  war.  After  the  defeat  of  the  Indians  at  Point 
Pleasant,  Logan  refused  to  appear  among  the  chiefs  who  sued  for 
peace  and  it  was  at  this  time  that  he  sent  the  well-known  message  to 
Lord  Dunmore.

Logan  the  Mingo;  a  story  of  the  frontier.

pinocks.  The  incidents  of  the  story  take  place  just  at  the  time  that  George  Washington 
was  on  his  way  to  the  French  forts  with  the  protest  of  Gov.  Dinwiddie  of  Virginia 
against  the  intrusion  of  the  French  upon  the  territory  claimed  by  the  English.

60  PENNSYLVANIA— BIOGRAPHY 

Robert  Morris 

Robert  Morris,  the  financier  of  the  Revolution,  was  a  member  of  a 
rich  merchant  firm  in  Philadelphia.  He  raised  large  sums  of  money 
on  his  own  responsibility  for  the  prosecution  of  the  war  and  in  1781 
became  superintendent  of  finance.  "He  was  called  'the  right  arm  of 
the  Revolution,'  and  the  figure  is  none  too  strong  to  express  the  mag- 
nitude of  his  service  in  the  cause  of  liberty."

"Molly  Pitcher,"  The  Heroine  of  Monmouth 

"  'Molly  Pitcher's'  true  name  was  Mollie  Hays.  Her  husband  was 
an  artillery  sergeant.  She  accompanied  him  to  the  war  and  after  two 
years  of  camp  life  immortalized  her  name  at  the  battle  of  Monmouth 
by  taking  his  place  at  his  gun  when  he  was  wounded  and  by  carrying 
water  for  the  wounded  after  the  battle.  The  latter  act  won  for  her  the 
name  of  'Molly  Pitcher.'  After  Sergeant  Hays  died,  she  married 
George  McCauley."    Shimmell's  History  of  Pennsylvania,  p. 324.

Colonel  James  Smith 

Col.  Smith  was  one  of  the  men  sent  out  by  the  province  of  Penn- 
sylvania to  cut  a  road  from  Fort  Loudon  to  join  Braddock's  road.  He 
was  taken  captive  by  the  Indians  and  held  in  Fort  Duquesne,  where  he 
was  at  the  time  of  the  battle.  Smith  was  made  to  run  the  gantlet  and 
was  afterward  adopted  into  an  Indian  tribe.  He  remained  a  captive 
for  five  years.  The  Library  has  a  reprint  of  his  "Account  of  the  re- 
markable occurrences  in  [his]  life  and  travels"  (1-970.1  S65)  which 
Parkman  calls  "perhaps  the  best  of  all  the  numerous  narratives  of  cap- 
tives among  the  Indians."

*Memoirs  of  Major  Robert  Stobo  of  the  Virginia  regiment  [ed.  by 
N.B.Craig].     1854. 

"He  was  a  man  of  indomitable  spirit,  and.  .  .instead  of  sinking  into  despondency 
and  listless  inactivity,  he  spent  his  time  in  writing  letters  stimulating  his  countrymen  to 
action,  and  furnishing  information  necessary  to  success.  .  .Inclosed  in  one  of  these  let- 
ters was  an  accurate  plan  of  Fort  DuQuesne.  .  .The  letters  and  plan  were  received  by 
Colonel  Washington  in  due  time,  copies  were  sent  to  the  Executive  of  Pennsylvania,  and 
subsequently  copies  were  also  furnished  to  General  Braddock.  After  his  defeat,  on  the 
ninth  of  July,  1755,  these  papers  fell  into  the  hands  of  the  enemy,  were  sent  to  France, 
and  from  thence  to  Quebec,  where  Stobo  was  then  confined,  and  there  placed  his  life 
in  great  jeopardy."     Editor's  introduction. 

This  edition  is  from  a  ms.  copy  of  the  rare  first  edition  in  the  British  Museum, 
with  notes,  a  facsimile  of  Stobo's  plan  of  Fort  Duquesne  and  his  letter  of  July  28,  1754, 
describing  conditions  at  the  fort  and  urging  an  attack.
